I find it interesting that in my traveling I have seen various branches of government mention God. In Ohio, "With God, all things are possible" caused such controversy that it required court rulings at least three times to reaffirm its legality. I am not saying that there are too much or too little governmental literature with God's name ablaze, but I do not see it a slippery slope if we do or do not have a plaque with a saying thanking God upon it. If someone is of faith they are likely thanking God for their blessings--If not. the plaque is just words. State Rep. Tom Riner casts a poor light on his parish by going to such extremes. I wonder if there is more to the story than we are being let on.

Soulscompanion, I hear ya-- we have a similar problem here in the great O-H-I-O with fundamentalists making us look bad. :)
